Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is an important
pulse crop grown in rainfed condition in Maharashtra. It is
grown mainly as intercrop with sorghum, cotton and soybean.
Among different crops grown in rainy (kharif) season,
pigeonpea would normally perform better under drought
prone condition (Choulwar et al. 2010). However, there is a
large variability in the performance of pigeonpea genotypes
for grain yield under rainfed condition. Breeding of genotypes
thus would require identification of specific attributes that
may be transferred to high-yielding cultivars. The present
study was undertaken to assess genetic variation of genotypes
and identify genotypes for rainfed condition in a semi-arid
Vertisol. Twenty three pigeonpea genotypes were tested for
yield contributing traits during kharif 2007, 2008 and 2009
under rainfed condition in a semi-arid Vertisol at Marathwada
Agricultural University, Parbhani in Maharashtra. Parbhani
is located at a latitude of 190 16', longitude of 760 47' and
altitude of 409 m above mean sea level. The trials were
conducted in a randomized block design with three
replications.
